Hello All I am looking to replace my 1 SSD cache disk with one of these (amazon link below) Does anyone run a setup like this? will it work with UNRAID? My plan is to put 2 1TB drives on the adapter and then let UNRAID mirror them for better speed. TIA https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Hyper-M-2-Card-Socket/dp/B07PCKTL1J/ref=asc_df_B07PCKTL1J/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=231989761408&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4424980282275558637&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006603&hvtargid=pla-736734030708&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

Hello - Hope this is the correct thred to post in - also hope someone can help. I have setup my sync to work and it does. When I download an item using UTorrent it sync's the files to the local server (UNRAID) but when I go to delete the files from the unraid box it tells me I dont have permission and wont remove them. When I delete them from the UTorrent server they are then removed from the local UNRAID server. What have I got wrong? I though I hadnt applied the correct file rights in the docker, but I cant see anywhere to do this... Attached is a copy of the settings for the docker. Would be nice for files to be deleted on the local UNRAID server to be then deleted on the UTORRENT box. But I cant work out where I have gone wrong.

Thank you for the extra advise - I have 2 x 4TB disks to swap out once the parity check is done and compleated.

Attached the errors to this reply. Copy and past didnt work to well. From the research I have done - I think replacing them is the best option?

Thank you Johnnie Thats fine. It will be a while before its all been used 100% Even tho my drives were find in my Synology NAS - UNRAID is showing errors with 2 drives. So once the Parity Sync is done I will need to swap out those 2 disks which are showing as faulty. Just want to get Plex installed to keep the kids happy

I have just setup my new server (totally new to UNRAID) and assigned my disks. UNRAID is currently doing a Parity Sync - Do I need to wait for this to finish before I can format the drives as they are currently showing under - Unmountable disks present: Or can I go ahead - format them and start using the system and the Parity check will carry on in the background?

Thank you Squid - My UNRAID Server is building its disks as I type - I havent used Plex via unraid before so wasnt sure if it was via Docker of a plugin that ran on the system. I will take a look and see if I can find any youtube vidoes on how its setup as the UNRAID system is new to me... Docker isnt tho. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Hello Forum My current Server / NAS setup before my unraid box was a VM Running Plex looking at a share on my NAS. The VM was running on a Hyper V server I have. Now I am moving over to UNRAID I wanted to ask which of the below would be best (been new to UNRAID) 1) VM Running on UNRAID with Plex installed (full windows version) pointing to a share on the UNRAID Server for the Movie & TV Share 2) Plex running as a plugin (I havent seen much of the plugins yet) But I understand plex can be ran as an App on the UNRAID box. What do you think is best? what do you guys run? Thank you

Hello All - I cant find an answer to this and I have searched youtube and the web, so hopefully someone can advise. The Server I am using for my UNRAID box has 10 x 1GB network cards on it. Now I am not planning on using all of them, but does UNRAID have the ability to team say 2, 3, 4 or 5 of them togeather and give the team 1 IP address? TIA

Hi Sota - Thank you for the reply. I could replace the R530 but as its under warentee and has over 400GB RAM I would like to keep it around as long as I can. I have 3 yeard of Dell warentee left. I did look at maybe getting an old NetApp shelf as in the UK I can pick them up for around £150 / £200 but the cable that they use to connect back to the server is stupid money. Been looking at 45 Drives and working out if I can just pop a LSI card in it and connect it back to the Dell Server as a dumb shelf that would do what I need. But I am not sure its possiable. Other option is to get another server with more bays... but they I would have 2 UNRAID servers to manage, but that would be a last resort as it would mean more managment etc.

Hello Forum I have a Dell R530 server which is running as my main UNRaid Server. This has worked great but now I am at the point where all 8 bays are full and I want to add more storage. Rather than buying larger HDD, I want to look at what options I have for a Disk Shelf. I am based in the UK and I am able to add expansion cards into the Dell Server. Are any of you guys using a disk shelf for exara storage? if so what are you using and how? TIA

Thank you Trul The terminology they use - and been new to UNRAID I just wanted to make sure I was correct in my thinking. My Synology NAS had 20 Disks in it when it failed today, each from 4TB in size to 12TB in size. so I want to move these disks over to the new UNRAID box. But I can do without most of them right away as restoring around 75TB of data from the cloud will take a little while. VM's etc I wont be using. I have 3 Dell PE R530's with 300GB RAM in each so they handle all the VM's I run. The Cache will just be for files on the server, I also have a Plex VM running on the Dell kit, so if the cache drive will help that run then great. Thank you for the fast reply!

Hello All I work in I.T but am totally new to UNRaid - My Synology NAS has just given up and I am looking to build my own UNRAID Server. I just have a few questions I would like to get a 100% answer from before I start. 1) Licence Costs - At the moment I am looking to add 12 HDD. Does UNRAID class 1 x HDD as 1 x Attached Storage Device? so for this it would be $89 - I am looking to add 2 SSD's but as this would be an extra $50 (if my above theory is correct) I will do this later once its all up and running and use this for a cache drive. 2) With Synology I am able to add new disks as and when I need more space. I use WD Red drives but depending on how much cash I have at the time I may end up getting a 6TB disk or a 4TB disk so can I add diffrent disk sizes into UNRAID and for it to work like the Synology RAID system and protect my data? Thank you for taking the time to read the post. I hope to become a new member of the UNRAID community.
